So you have looked at the docs and you would like to give Azure File Storage a try, but you are having trouble connecting it to Azure Government following the instructions posted on the public Azure site?
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/storage/files/
Let me guess you are getting an error that says:
“The Remote name could not be resolved: ‘youracount.file.core.windows.net’”

Fear not the Azure Government Blog to the rescue!
